Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Chapter 216: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Situation Deteriorates

January is the coldest time in Liaocheng in previous years.

It was not until the evening, when it was completely dark outside, that Fox Dad came back.

When Jiang Jiang went to feed Wangcai's family after dinner, he happened to meet Fox Dad who had just returned from outside.

It seemed to be injured, and it limped when it stood up and walked.

The mother fox immediately jumped out of the den, came to the side of the father fox, lowered her head and licked its injured leg. Wangcai also anxiously circled around the father fox several times.

Suddenly, it ran towards Jiang Jiang, grabbed Jiang Jiang's trouser leg, and whimpered anxiously.

Jiang Jiang understood what Wangcai meant. It was asking for his help.

She walked forward and the fox mother consciously made way.

Jiang Jiang squatted down, carefully checked Fox Dad's injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a big deal. I guess his leg was just pressed by something. There's blood oozing from his right hind leg.

If she was bitten by a poisonous snake, she might not have any good way to deal with it for a while.

Animals cannot speak, and they don’t even know what anti-venom serum to inject.

Jiang Jiang first applied some topical medicine, then found two small splints and wrapped Fox Dad's hind legs with gauze.

"Where will you run to next time?"

Jiang Jiang said unhappily.

The fox father rolled his eyes and imitated Wangcai, exposing his belly and allowing Jiang Jiang to touch it.

Such opportunities are rare. The fox father and mother are wild animals that grew up in the wild. Even though they are so familiar with Jiang Jiang, it is still rare for them to expose their belly and allow people to touch it.

Jiang Jiang stroked the fox father without any hesitation and stood up with a body covered in fox fur, feeling satisfied.

The fox mother couldn't bear to watch the scene and turned her head to the other side.

After feeding them, Jiang Jiang took out a few hot water bottles and placed them under the quilt, closed their small cages and left.

The basement is not ventilated, so the temperature is naturally much higher than that in the charcoal factory on the first floor. In addition, the stove is burning non-stop, and wrapped in a thick quilt, one can feel somewhat warm.

Unfortunately, there was not enough time, otherwise Jiang Jiang would rather take a greater risk, get more funds, and let the construction team keep digging down. The deeper the basement, the warmer and safer it will be.

January 3rd is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, only two days away from the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday, according to custom, a rooster was slaughtered. Early this morning, everyone started kneading dough, which means making the dough rise.

Whoever had melon seeds and peanuts contributed them. Jiang Jiang followed the crowd and took out a bag of hard candies. Each family grabbed a handful so that everyone could have a sweet taste.

Life is bitter enough, it's better to have something sweet.

"In the blink of an eye, it's almost Chinese New Year."

Grandma Wang huddled in the quilt, holding a hot water bottle in her hands and wearing a patchwork knitted wool hat on her head.

This hat was Jiang Jiang's best work after practice. She gave it to Grandma Wang. She gave the other hats to several children. They didn't mind that the hats were crooked. Instead, they liked them very much and took turns wearing them along with the hats made by their mothers.

"That's right, another year has passed in a flash."

Since the snow began, the days have passed by so quickly. One open my eyes, one close my eyes, and another day has passed.

There were no visiting, no couplets, no firecrackers, and no galas.

This year is probably the year with the least festive atmosphere.

After Zhang Dachuan donated all the No. 5 batteries in the convenience store, many people spent their time listening to rescue information on various radio channels.

At the beginning, there were more than a dozen channels publishing various rescue information, but today, there are only six left.

Among the officially announced shelters, the closest one is four kilometers away from Qingshan Village.

In this kind of weather, it is impossible to walk four kilometers relying solely on manpower.

And this is just the straight-line distance. No one has any idea how long it will actually take.

Unless you have a full set of ski equipment or multiple large dogs pulling the sled, it is difficult to move outside.

Obviously, Qingshan Village does not meet any of the conditions.

In the end, everyone chose to hide in the basement, but as time went on, even the dullest people realized that this heavy snow seemed to be more than just an ordinary natural disaster.

Jiang Jiang had encountered the once-in-a-century torrential rain and drought twice in the original owner's memory.

It doesn't snow often in Liaocheng, and at first I just thought that this winter was exceptionally cold, and at most it would be another once-in-a-century snowstorm.

However, as various cities fell and retreated, the people of Qingshan Village, who were isolated from the outside world, also realized that this was no longer an ordinary natural disaster, but also endangered the survival of mankind all over the world.

The road out of Qingshan Village has been cut off, making it like an isolated island in the world.

A poor mountain village with closed roads, a shortage of supplies, and people fighting for resources would be a very terrifying thing.

Originally, such a thing would happen between the three villages. According to the timeline experienced by the original owner, the Qingshan Village would kill each other for food and heating supplies.

The weakest elderly and children are the first to die, and the rest will do anything to survive, dyeing the entire village bloody.

As soon as Jiang Jiang arrived, he delivered sufficient food and heating supplies to each village. Even if some families suffered from the avalanche, the nearby villagers were willing to take in others.

There is no other reason. Everyone has food and clothes. This snow disaster will not last for one or two years.

When supplies are sufficient, one more person means more strength.

Unfortunately, due to the avalanche, it was difficult for the villagers of Qingtu Village and Qingshui Village to overcome numerous obstacles and come to Qingshan Village to buy charcoal.

"Jiang Jiang, do you have any medicine for frostbite?"

The temperature has dropped significantly recently, and many people are freezing even if they stay indoors.

People are unlikely to freeze to death, but mild frostbite is common.

Jiang Jiang's two large medicine boxes had been brought over long ago, and they were filled with a lot of medicines for headaches, fevers, frostbite and falls.

"Uncle, I'll get it for you."

Jiang Jiang took out a small tube of medicine from the box and handed it to him.

"Apply it three times a day until it heals. Be careful not to get it in your mouth."

"Good good."

Jiang Jiang's mind moved, and a small tube of frostbite ointment came out of the box.

Other people don’t know what medicines are in her box, and no one will notice if there are a few more or less bottles.

However, Jiang Jiang was also a little worried because the temperature outside was even lower than she had imagined.

Recently, many people have caught colds or developed frostbite, and some people who went out to check the situation have been frostbitten.

She also lacked the confidence that she could lead everyone to survive in the extremely cold environment.

She has a way out. No matter how cold it is outside, she can hide in the space where it is spring all year round.

She can, but others can't.

So I can only use this method as a retreat.

Just as Jiang Jiang was racking his brains for a solution, things unexpectedly took a turn for the better.
